ChatFindr
Meet new people nearby through local group chats built around shared interests.
What is ChatFindr?
ChatFindr is a free iPhone and iPad application designed to help adults 18 and older meet new people through local, interest-based group chats. Users can browse nearby chats centered around topics like fitness, coffee, music, and the outdoors, allowing them to mingle naturally in a group setting before connecting privately.
The app is built for individuals looking to make new friends without the pressure of traditional swiping or cold DMs. Participants chat within public or private groups, send friend requests to people they vibe with, and transition their conversations into real-world plans such as workouts, coffee, and live music.
Unlike traditional dating platforms, ChatFindr focuses on shared interests and community groups, leaving room for both friendships and deeper connections to develop naturally. While the app is free to download and use for basic discovery, an optional ChatFindr Pro subscription unlocks full Nearby access, private messaging, profile views, and advanced filters.

Letting go ≠ giving up — name the reallocation, keep the identity
Sharath sharply separates letting go from giving up. Giving up means refusing to act again; letting go means clearing space for the next opportunity. When a side project stops being fun, name the decision as 'letting go' (sunset, sell, hand off) rather than 'quitting' — the label is psychological scaffolding that keeps founder identity intact through the transition.
at RevenueCat we acquired an app called Dipsy we acquired this app specifically to run these kind of experiments to beta test our revenue cap features within days of the ruling my colleagues built out a system to take advantage of this
Acquire an app specifically to run live monetization experiments on your platform
RevenueCat bought Dipsy not for its users or revenue, but as a real production test bed — a live app fully instrumented with their own tools. This let them ship experiments within days of a legal ruling without convincing external partners. For founders building monetization tooling, owning a first-party app eliminates partner dependency and produces credible data to share publicly.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
